Kyle Smith over at New York Post, gave it a 50 grade, stating: “It’s somehow both too drawn-out and abrupt — but it’s got creepiness galore.”

Dave White from TheWrap, gave it a 50 score. He said: “Visual stakes are heightened here, to an absurd, laugh-inspiring degree, the deaths sliding into the realm of “Saw”-style ridiculousness.”

Justin Lowe from The Hollywood Reporter, gave it a 50 grade, saying: “Sinister 2 comes up a bit short on creative resources, although director Ciaran Foy probably gets enough right to entice those partial to the original.”

Kyle Anderson from Entertainment Weekly, gave it a 42 score. He stated: “Sinister 2 doesn’t know what it wants to be, and doesn’t add up to much.”

Robert Abele at the Los Angeles Times, gave it a 30 grade, saying: “Nothing about Sinister 2 comes close to the feel-bad ode to literally and figuratively dark interiors that distinguished the title-earning original.”

Andy Webster from The New York Times, gave it a 30 score. He said: “Despite Mr. Ransone’s goofy charm, Sinister 2 can’t claim the same finesse, substituting pedestrian plotting and a more graphic gore for the original’s restraint.”

Andrew Barker from Variety, gave it a 30 grade, saying: “A retread of such brainless, shameless lameness that it’s hard to imagine anyone begging for another installment.”

Lastly, Katherine Pushkar from the New York Daily News, gave it an awful 20 score, saying: “Say one thing for these killer kids: they’re creative.” Stay tuned. Follow us on Facebook by Clicking Here. Follow us on Google Plus by Clicking Here. Follow us on Twitter by Clicking Here.
